The expansion of commercial real estate is expected to support the growth of the commercial grounds maintenance market in the coming years. Commercial real estate includes properties used for business purposes, typically owned or leased to generate income or facilitate commercial activities rather than for residential living. The growth of commercial real estate is driven by rising demand for office and business spaces, fueled by urbanization as more people migrate to cities and businesses broaden their operations to serve increasing populations and economic activity. Commercial grounds maintenance improves the appeal and market value of properties by enhancing curb appeal, ensuring safety, and creating a positive first impression. It also helps protect property condition, reduce liability risks, and preserve long-term asset value. For example, in January 2025, according to BNP Paribas Real Estate, a France-based real estate advisory firm, total UK commercial real estate investment volumes reached £50 billion (approximately $58.48 billion) in 2024, compared with £41 billion (about $47.95 billion) in 2023, representing a 23% increase. Therefore, the growth of commercial real estate is contributing to the expansion of the commercial grounds maintenance market.

Key players in the commercial grounds maintenance market are emphasizing the development of advanced technologies, such as wire-free robotic mowers, to boost operational efficiency and provide consistent maintenance across large properties. Wire-free robotic mowers use GPS, sensors, or virtual mapping to navigate lawns without the need for boundary wires. These devices offer easy installation, increased flexibility, and precise mowing for both residential and commercial landscapes. For instance, in October 2024, Husqvarna Group, a Sweden-based outdoor power product manufacturer, introduced four new robotic lawn mowers - the 305, 315, 325, and 335 EPOS models - designed for professional green space management. These mowers incorporate advanced exact positioning operating system (EPOS) technology, delivering precise navigation, high efficiency, and reduced manual labor. This launch marks a significant innovation in automated lawn care, providing landscapers and groundskeepers with scalable, high-performance tools to improve productivity and sustainability.
